Struts for GC coilovers
I am considering putting ground controls on my 02 civic and I was wondering what kind of aftermarket struts would be a good choice,I want good ride quality,I am not as concerned about handling,but I also want to be able to SLAM the car if i want to,I dont want somthing that will limit me.So what would be a good choice for this application.Any input is appricated.Thanks

Because they aren't meant to go the lowest, they are meant to hold the car up and to turn well. I told you what I recommended, but anything too low will put too much stress on the shocks, unless you get them shortened and revalved.
How about with Tanabe DF210 lowering springs of 1.8" all around? I was thinking of just getting the front struts since most of the problems accures there more than the rear. What would you recommend?

Well, Konis are designed to work equally well at any height with in their stroke range.... However! If you bottom them out you will destroy them. So your major limiting factor here isnt if the shock can handlle being so low, but rather if you have enough suspension travle to keep the shocks from bottoming out.

Its right there on their web site,A friend of mine told me about them, he has ordered from them a couple of times before and had nothing but good things to say about them,and so far my experience with them has been very good.
